    He is such a passive aggro drama queen on social media, acts like the league owes him multiple championships......while he has not developed his skills and shooting to elite levels.

    Can't wait until he is washed and the whole thing calms down.

    I gotta say watching SGA, J-Dub and OKC obliterate the Warriors in the 1st half was a pleasure. Their defense is stifling; their offense is systematic (except when SGA decides he's gonna shoot no matter what) and the Curry-less Warriors are helpless.

    Omma switch over and watch E4 of Stranger Things.

    I gotta start hating them more. Dort is an easy target, but I think I'll zero-in on Chet. It's unfair that they're the defending champs, have the reigning MVP, are so young, will probably break the regular season wins record, and own the bum-ass Clippers' pick next year.

    I hate that the Rockets put together a championship caliber team for the second time in the last eight years only to be faced with a generational juggernaut.

    Feel like you are finally acing a test, but the dude in front of you has taken all the tests in the next few years, and knows everything.

    When the Astros got great, I worried they would not win because they got great at the same time as a few other teams got great. 100-win teams are rarer than World Series Championships, but there were 3-4 100-win teams every year during the Astros run, not including 2020.

    The biggest difference is that NBA series are MUCH less random than baseball ones. The better team almost always wins if everyone is healthy. That said, I do think the Rockets can match up reasonably well with OKC when firing on all cylinders … they will just have to play awesome team ball.

    Supposedly Giannis and Myles Turner had "mutual interest" in playing together which is why the Bucks signed him.

    Also, just prior to the start of the season, Giannis said he was fully invested in their squad.

    Something doesn't add up.

    That could be. However, IMO, this recent report implying Giannis has an ongoing trade request from before the season is wrong.

    This horrific 1-8 skid culminating in a loss to the lowly Wizards was the tipping point. He's finally had enough and doesn't want to finish the season with the Bucks.
